It’s just a few days away from the Disney World Marathon (10 Jan) and the temps here in Orlando are close to freezing.\u00a0 The overnight low Sat\/Sun is expected to be about 29!\u00a0 I am used to running in temps averaging 75 with humidity levels even higher.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The last two weeks I was in Las Vegas and ran nearly every day.\u00a0 The temps averaged 45 during my runs.\u00a0 I was wearing:\u00a0 Running shorts, Under Armour ColdGear longsleeve mock compression shirt<\/a>, a longsleeve tech t-shirt, Asics running tights, and a pair of lightweight gloves.\u00a0 It was quite comfortable once I got warmed up.\u00a0 Yesterday I ran here in Orlando wearing the same gear plus a balaclava around my ears.\u00a0 The temp was in the high thirties.\u00a0 I was quite cold running into the wind.<\/p>\n My quest now is to pick up some chemical hand warmers like the ones made by Grabber<\/a>.\u00a0 They last way longer than I would need (7+ hours) and will be less than useful in my shoes or on my body.\u00a0 At the very least I can use some hand warmers while waiting for the race to start.\u00a0 Another thought I had was to pick up some ThermaCare HeatWraps<\/a>.\u00a0 I have used these for back pain and if they don’t melt the compression shirt, I can use one in between my layers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How to stay warm when Orlando freezes<\/p>\n
